Kid A is the most consistent and works the best as one whole album.OK Computer has more quintessential tracks, and most of the tracks work better in isolation than for Kid A or In Rainbows.In Rainbows being considered alongside them is a meme.

Are none of these line-level? I have a po-12 which I really like, but I can't record with it because the output just isn't hot enough. I can hear it only if I crank the preamp on my interface, but I get an undesirable signal-to-noise ratio this way.

Should I get a separate preamp or a di box or something? Anyone record with any of these?

>>78792151They don't have basic support for the chromatic scale (except maybe the speak?). I have used the po-14 sub which has C major scale plus an "effect" that lets you add other notes using the sequencer (tricky to do), and po-33 KO! which has a tunable natural minor scale plus sharp 7th degree. If you are an experienced musician at all and enjoy playing in a chromatic scale, I don't think I can recommend the POs as a stand-alone instrument. The Speak apparently has a scale setting and modulation, so it might be more interesting but I haven't used it.

Pictures from an Exhibition [Cotillion, 1972]This cover version of Moussorgsky's mouldy oldie does have a big new beat, but you can't dance to it, and the instrumentation seems a bit spare. Anyway, the truth is that I don't even listen to the original much. D+

>>78797411The pomposities of Tarkus and the monstrosities of the Moussorgsky homage clinch it--these guys are as stupid as their most pretentious fans. Really, anybody who buys a record that divides a . . . composition called "The Endless Enigma" into two discrete parts deserves it. C-Emerson Lake and Palmer fans on suicide watch
